Kingfisher, first one I’ve seen for a while!!
Came home at about 5pm yesterday evening to see a kingfisher perched on our power line. We are very close to the Town Belt, so we get lots of tui, waxeyes and fantails, but this is my first sighting of a kingfisher for several years! The photo quality isn’t brilliant as it was getting dark. Any comments? Are others seeing an increase in native birds at present?

Kingfishers are a beautiful bird Great to hear and see the lovely Kaka in the Botanical gardens . Have been learning they enjoy sap and that is why they like to remove a bit of bark from some trees.
